God limits the happiness and pleasure we have now precisely so we might not become attached to this world or dependent upon it or fearful of leaving it (dying), as well as to stir in our hearts a longing and yearning and holy anticipation for what is yet to come.

Joy is not necessarily the absence of suffering, it is the presence of God.

You need never fear feeling too good about God.

Tolerate nothing in your life that might diminish your hunger for Gods word. Apply it w vigor & spiritual energy!

Integrity... does not mean sinless, but it does describe a person who by God's grace "sin less."

Our giving is but a reflex of God's giving.

The only reason integrity should be a burden to you is if you enjoy being dishonest.
